Was it “good”? Yes. Did it feel like forever to get through? Also yes. Well written, but slow. I was prepared for multiple POVs and timeline jumps, but phew! While at times it felt like a chore to get through, I’m glad I did because the ending wrapped everything in a neat little bow and felt rewarding.
